NPL attendance and viewers

[Son of Sam]

This is an appropriate comparison, the second tier of Aussie rules in Victoria vs the second tier (third if we include the Championship) of soccer in Victoria.

The strength of grassroots soccer as a collective beats everything else. I only hope the new bosses see this and finally want to work with it properly.

How do you feel about SMFC Mike’s consistent belittling of the A League? I mean, I can’t say I’m not unsupportive of his views, but boy oh boy, it can be self-defeating IMO. Is it somewhat performative? His interviews feel a lot less antagonistic.

Of course, he does reveal some interesting information at times.

Yep spot on. I think he's been great on the pod (and Pete), very knowledgeable and apt discussions. The Aus Cup preview was top notch.

X seems like a way to express all the frustrations. It's a shame that all we see is dumping crap on A-League. I crap on it as well sometimes but I also see the obvious good in the league too. When it's only one-eyed vitriol coming out then the credibility of the rants vaporises and it loses meaning, I can't remember a positive thing that's been said about A-League. Yeah "performative" would be accurate. Other posts are very often informative and I enjoy, I repost them here quite a bit.

Let’s be honest, end of the day it is the same league as the nsl, just rebranded and with some clubs kicked out and others brought in in their place
